Re: It's all word shuffling.

Faith writes:

"Ploy" is the right word for a definitional game that changes meanings, makes it hard to think, but changes nothing substantive. This is all that has been done with the terms in question.

I would prefer not to see another thread degenerate into charges of dishonest behavior. Please stay focused on the topic.

Topic Drift Alert

This thread is not about evolutionists playing a shell game with definitions. Please keep discussion focused on the topic.

Another issue: A thread is allowed only about 300 messages. If possible, please try to avoid posting many tiny messages.

Forum Guidelines Warning

crashfrog writes:

I don't know how I could be any clearer than that in two posts. Is English not your first language, or what?

Last time I checked the Forum Guidelines were still written in English. I'll withhold any comment about whether you're right or wrong, but I hope you'll agree that the terminology of the topic you're discussing contains the potential for significant confusion. But even if for the sake of argument I agree that you're right and that Kuresu was wrong, that still doesn't entitle you to a "one free jab" card.

Wounded King and Faith,

My suggestion is to take the discussion about whether evolutionists are playing a definition shell game to another thread.

Reaching an Understanding

Crash and Kuresu,

I want you two to have the opportunity to work through to a clear understanding, but it would be nice if you could be economical while doing it and not use up too many of the thread's 300 messages. I'll avoid putting myself in the middle by not offering any interpretations of my own, but I think if you actually put the text from Crash's Message 64 (where I think this started) in front of you that it might help:

Crash writes:

kuresu writes:

There's nothing symbiotic about this relationship. Unless you want to call mankind a bunch of parasites.

Symbiosis is not the same as parasitism. Symbiosis is defined as a relationship between two dissimilar species that is both intimate and potentially obligatory.
